Savick Brook was surveyed to determine fish species and abundance as part of the Ribble Link Project. The electrofishing procedure consisted of a single upstream sweep of the electrode at each site. The fish densities (expressed as numbers per 100m2) calculated from this method and presented in this report are semi-quantitative, or minimum estimates and therefore do not represent the complete population in survey sites. The majority of the sites had excellent fish populations, with only one fishless site. Limnophilic (stillwater) (roach and gudgeon) coarse fish were present at 38% of the 8 sites surveyed. Rheophilic (flowing water) (chub and dace) coarse fish were present at 87.5% of the sites with a couple showing high densities. Excellent numbers of juvenile flounder were also present at 7 of the sites. The present water quality is suitable for coarse fish species. This is reflected in the densities of coarse fish found in Savick Brook. The length frequency analysis showed that the populations of coarse fish were established and self-sustaining and reproducing naturally CONTENTS Page No Summary 2 Contents 3 1 Introduction 4 2 Methodology 5 3 Results 7 3.1 Overview 7 3.2 Coarse Fish Densities 7 3.2.1 Rheohilic Fish Densities 2001 8 3.2.2 Limnophilic Fish Densities 2001 8 3.23 Flounder 8 4 Discussion 10 1.1 Species Composition 10 1.2 Water Quality 10 13 Savick Brook Description 11 5 Conclusions 12 6 Recommendations 13 7 Appendices 14 3 1 INTRODUCTION This report aims to find the distribution and abundance of fish in Savick Brook.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PORT of PRESTON Preston’s history goes back to the very earliest times when the town arose from the ruins of the ancient Coccium or Ribchester and received its name of Priest – town, corrupted over the years into Preston. It received its first charter in 1179 from King Henry II. Situated on the main north – south road where it crossed the Ribble, The town’s strategic importance gained prominence especially during the Civil Wars. By the first half of the 19th century Preston was a growing “cotton town”(with over 70 mills in 1860) and also an increasingly important port on the Ribble.It had, during two decades, become an equally important rail centre with lines diverging from it to Lancaster and Scotland; to Crewe and Fleetwood, Manchester, Liverpool and Blackburn.

    Lancashire Record Office Handlist 29 Sources for the study of World War Two Bomb damage in Eccles, 1941 (Ref: CC/WDP/3) Last updated: October 2010 1 Introduction The vast majority of archives held at Lancashire Record Office relating to World War Two relate to the impact of the war on the civilian population in Lancashire, air raid precautions and evacuation in particular, and the subsequent commemoration and remembrance of those who died. We also have collections of personal papers which tell individual stories of wartime experiences, but do not hold service records of those who fought in World War Two. The National Archives is the best initial point of contact for these: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ The only exception to this is those records of the Home Guard held here (see below). Much of the material listed here has come from the various Lancashire local authorities who organised the Home Front, whose archive collections often include committee minutes and files relating to wartime activities, especially food shortages and Air Raid Precautions. Many, but not all such records are listed here. Last updated: October 2010 2 Contents Page 1. Civil Defence 1.1 General 4 1.2 Home Guard 5 1.3 Air Raid Precautions (ARP) 6 2.
